While I thoroughly enjoy the tedious sewing of a quilt, this project was simple and refreshing. When Ruby Star Society first released their chore coat toweling, I was intrigued, but the yardage never made it further than my shopping cart on Etsy until this month.
These are rather simple to make if you have the patience to learn how to put in a zipper. If you don’t want to tackle the zipper, try an envelope pillow cover instead.
How do you sew a pillow cover with a zipper? Here’s a tutorial.

Do you like the fabrics in this pillow? Unfortunately most of these well loved fabrics are no longer available for purchase. All of these prints were done by the ladies of Ruby Star Society.
Sewing a triangle quilt was actually one of my very first quilt projects. It was an extremely frustrating project. I hadn’t done any research at all. I ran across a quilt that inspired me to make a triangle quilt. I went to Jo-Ann’s and bought a triangle ruler. I went home and started sewing.
